Roasted Potato-Leek Soup
Preparation Time: 10 – 15 minutes
Roasting and Cooking Time: 50 minutes – 1 hour
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 pounds yukon gold potatoes, cut into 3⁄4” cubes
- 3⁄4 pound trimmed and halved (lengthwise) leeks
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) olive oil, divided
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups chicken stock or broth
For Serving:
- Crème fraîche or sour cream (optional)
- Snipped chives or scallions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, transfer to a roasting pan or parchment-lined baking sheet. Coat leeks with remaining tablespoon oil, separating leeks into individual layers. Arrange leeks over potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Place pan in preheated oven; roast for 20 minutes, toss mixture and roast until potatoes are cooked and golden brown in spots (about 20 minutes more).
Transfer roasted veggie mixture to a food processor or blender, add chicken stock and blend until desired texture is reached (you may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your blender/processor). Pour blended mixture into a medium pot (4-quart), set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until hot. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve immediately topped with a dollop of crème fraîche and chives, if desired.
